Re: Hurricane preparations
I just checked NOAA and it looks like Fay is just about to Tallahassee and moving west at eight knots. Perhaps you will have some relief by tomorrow morning. Be sure to "check in" and let us know how you're doing.

Absolutely! I'm glad the brunt of the storm appears to have missed you. I hope the rest of our members in the storm's path do as well.cu74 wrote:Be sure to "check in" and let us know how you're doing.

9:30 PM. Just had another tornado warning with cloud rotation spotted. No confirmation if it touched down. The cell passed about a mile to the west of me. Doesn't look like I'm going to get much sleep tonight.

Re: Hurricane preparations
I don't suppose you have a place to get underground? My guess is that Florida homes are similar to those in coastal South Carolina where I grew up - no basements because the water table is too high. The best tornado advice I can offer is to find the lowest spot you can and hunker down.tfbncc wrote:9:30 PM. Just had another tornado warning with cloud rotation spotted.

Good luck!

Re: Hurricane preparations
OK, final update. The storm is past now. Headed west along the Gulf Coast. Still intermittent heavy rains. Still some flooding around town. But here at the house, just lots of leaves and small branches to clean up. I never lost power, had no trees fall, hardly got any winds over 30 mph. The three tornadoes that passed me by did keep me up, but again, my luck held. So all is OK here. Thanks for all the advice. Until the next storm...

Re: Hurricane preparations
Well now, that wasn't so bad, was it? 
Poor attempts at humor aside, thanks for letting us know you are okay.

Some flooding? Geeze, by the look of all the news reports the entire state was under three feet of water!tfbncc wrote:OK, final update. The storm is past now. Headed west along the Gulf Coast.
